虽然电极电位被认为是控制许多电解过程的主要因素，但它是最不适合直接实验控制的变量之一。一般来说，它只能在电解过程中通过改变电流密度、温度、电极材料和电解质成分等因素间接地改变或维持。因此，将工作电极的电位固定在任何期望的任意值的装置似乎在探索电解过程中具有许多有价值的应用，本文描述了一种电路，通过这种电路可以实现这一目标。
Although the electrode potential is considered to be the dominating factor governing many electrolytic processes, it is one of the variables least amenable to direct experimental control. In general it can only be indirectly changed or maintained during electrolysis by alteration of such factors as current density, temperature, electrode material and electrolyte composition. A device whereby the potential of a working electrode can be fixed at any desired arbitrary value would seem, therefore, to have many valuable applications in the exploration of electrolytic processes, and the present paper describes an electrical circuit by means of which this aim can be achieved.Experimental.
